About Drum

noreply@blogger.com (arjunajogja) — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 04:00:00 -0800

Drum is mixed. There snare, tom-toms, bass, conga, symbal, world, drum etc., they are essentially the drum, because the play by beat. But what we have discussed Drumset, who can say the most modern form of the drums. Drumset itself consists of 3 drums, the snare, tom-toms and bass drums. For tom-toms further divided into two parts, namely mounted tom and floor tom-tom (depending on the placement and diameter only). Of the three elements, there are a few key elements, namely cymbals, hardware (pedals, hihat stand, cymbal stand, snare stand, tom holder / tom stands) and the eardrum.

Toms consists of various sizes, both in depth and diameter. The size of a 12x10 drum written bias point is its depth of 12 cm and 10 cm in diameter. Toms diameter varies, tom-toms are usually the smallest diameter 6 ", and continue through 8", 10 ", 12", 13 ", 14", 15 ", 16", 18 "and 20". Size toms 14 "and above, as a floor tom-tom classified, but it also depends on setting. Tom-tom drumhead with 2, above and below, except in the 70s where the tom and bass drum drumhead only use only 1 , and his voice is terrible. Board of tom-toms, or what is commonly referred to as a track made of wood.

To drum beginner classes usually use mahogany wood and the professional classes generally use the Birch and Maple wood. Birch Maple Wood and is more expensive because it causes a noise or tone round and clear. Hout on tom-toms usually have a thickness of 4 to 10 mm. The thinner the wood the sounds produced richer and more sensitive. While the thick wooden produce sound louder, but his voice was not too rich, and less sensitive.

Bass drum is not too different from the tom-toms, bass drum just a larger diameter, has 16 ", 18", 20 ", 22", 24 "and even 26 or more. And the bass with a pedal and put under the drum beat. But the bass drum sound is not like tom-tom-voiced "dung ..." but tend to sound "pop ..." (more dead stem). Wood bass drum tends to be thick to produce a louder voice to the resilience of the drum itself.

Drums snare drum is the most distinguished among the others (of the form and voice). And snare drum are the main elements of the drumset (which usually beaten). These bins are usually size 10 "to 15", but the most commonly used is the size of 14 ". What makes the difference on the snare drum at the bottom of it. On the bottom with a wire spiral or actually Sometimes Snare Wire / strainer. That is what makes the difference on the snare drum. When you hit the snare top head under the wire immediately responded by way of 'saving' head back down and produce a sharp sound. So, really 'life' of the snare drum is located on the snare wire. wire If the strings are then released as a result of the sound is similar to the tom-tom.

Cymbals, again a "life" for the drumset, because it is almost impossible to play drums without cymbals (is like eating rice without rice). Cymbals consist of 4 types of them:
1. Hihat cymbals:
'Heart' cymbals and drums. Allows you to keep the time / days. comprises a pair of cymbals. size 8 "to 15". Standard Size 14 "
2. Ride cymbals:
Hihat same functions but with different shapes and sounds. Consists of only one cymbal but a large 18 "to 22". standard size 20 "
3. Crash cymbals:
Submit to phrase / tone in a song. Size 13 "to 22" depending on the players' tastes.
4. Effect cymbals:
Effect of the Splash cymbal, bell, china and swiss. Useful to provide "color" in a special song. Splash and bubble size is typically 6 "to 12" and the china and swiss usually measuring 16 "to 22".

Hardware consists of a variety of shapes and functions:
1. Pedals:
Allow you to hit the bass drum, double pedal is also available, the pedals, which uses 2 pedals and 2 bat beater or to get better sound on the bass drum.
2. Hihat stand:
To hihat cymbals consist of 2 pieces of brass, so you can open and close of the two cymbals with your left leg.
3. Cymbal stand:
For all types except hihat cymbals.
4. Snare stand:
Snare drum to sit and you can position at will change.
5. Tom container / tom says:
Allows you to install fanfare.
Drumhead, the extent, nature, function and different thicknesses. Drumhead is composed of 3 parts; First batter's head, which is designed to hit drumhead. Second, Resonant only be placed at the bottom of tom-toms and the front of the bass drum. Head is not, this header is useful to hit 'live' on tom toms and bass drums-. And the last is the snare side, just at the bottom of the trap to get wire snare sound. Snare side is the thinnest head. Remember not to take.

How to Find a Good Drum Teacher

noreply@blogger.com (arjunajogja) — Mon, 1 Feb 2010 22:12:00 -0800

Finding a great drum teacher / tutor / mentor is the key step in learning to play drums. They will help you understand the instrument to learn, and take you from a beginner all the way to an advanced player. There are literally thousands of teachers out there who can help, but to find a great drum teacher asks for a little work. Here are a few tips to help you the best teacher possible to find:

Local Listings: Start by checking your local listings. Your first lesson should be close to you, that experience is convenient and easy to fit into your current schedule. However, not only with the first number you find. Make sure you call around and ask for referrals. You will probably find the busiest guy has the best, so this is a good indication to search.

Qualifications: Most parents look for teachers with an X, Y, Z qualifications, but in my experience is one of the worst mistakes you can make. The major players in the world is not "qualified" in the ordinary sense of the word is either the best teachers. Look for someone who can actually drums, who practice what they preach and have a good track record playing. Experience traveling in the studio and as a teacher has surpassed everything. Qualification is often misleading!

Magazines: read drum magazines and you will learn a lot about going to the drummers. Many of them are too busy to learn, but there are a few that offer private lessons and / or online lessons. If you can not travel, so even a short time with a high caliber player for your wonderful drumming do spend. Ask if they offer instruction on skype and you can learn the best in the comfort of your home.

Big Name Schools: Big name schools such as Berklee College of Music, Guildhall and LA Music scout the biggest and brightest talents to teach their students and provide the best education possible, they are. If your budget allows, and you want to study full time so this is probably the best move you can do. Find a school teacher in the service you want to work and have an environment that suits your needs and style of learning.

Seminars: When I started traveling a lot, I was not able to study with an ordinary teacher, so I began to attend clinics as possible. This is a wonderful way to get a closer look at the technique and musicality in your favorite players and make a lot of questions that otherwise would be impossible to ask. Check Mags congregate to learn more about the events in your area and to take part in at least one seminar a year.

Although I definitely recommend finding a teacher, you still need to take control of your player. You must learn to learn through self study and practice as much as possible. Get what you can from your teacher, but also tried to "self-learn" where and when possible. If you want to be a great player, so you must be a great learner and set in a mountain of practice time.

Easy Way To Learn Piano

noreply@blogger.com (arjunajogja) — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 00:32:00 -0800

There are two basic ways to learn piano - note reading or Tab. For those who want to spend years to learn to play music for other read music is a way to achieve it. For people who like to make music with their own particular understanding of the Chords are mandatory - and easier to study. much better to first learn how to make music than to read the paper.

I thought a writer forced to copy the work of other novelists. Crazy right? But it is the most important thing to people when they show the work of another composer-composer. It is not a creative act, but only a temporary entertainment pianist can any interpretation, does not mean that he would make something original (original) I can not say the work of composer-a composer should not play with other listeners in the joy. I say it is good to understand that a lot of each of Beethoven to change something and someone to call his work.

Therefore, the benefits of learning how to make music first is to understand the basic principles. For example, say back to our writers. If he sees the work of other writers and the structure of work, so he began to see how the work is done. It is completely different than what happens in the classical music world, where players can read music, but do not know the principles, which are present in their construction. First know the piano with ease. Learn how to create a song first, and then compose their own music. Knowledge is important, even if you do not read music because you begin to see how things, and when you see it, is obliged to work, it will increase tenfold.

Tips Learning Music Strategy

noreply@blogger.com (arjunajogja) — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 13:05:00 -0800

It is bad when there is no reason to believe that music belongs to professional musicians and scientists. Almost all of the shortcomings of human life were filled with music, since thousands of years ago. The beginning of the ceremony of worship gleam of evening entertainment. Currently, public interest in music was great. Do not just listen and enjoy, the interest in learning music is very high now. But how, how to learn music? For institutions of music education, private house or self-taught? The following tips for you.

Academic against the self-taught?

In this country the most successful musicians in the music industry self-taught. While academic musicians are very rare. Is this problem is self-taught academic against black against white issue? Of course, not all that simple. But this issue will be discussed next time. But the reality is that those who actually admit to teach through scientific research, not even realizing it.

A self-taught-academic matters are matters that are among the first the chicken or the egg. So let's get rid of the old debate about the "chicken or the egg" is. More importantly, this time, how to become successful self-taught? (known, the success of this word does not mean material success, but luck was science).

Basic requirements for a self-taught is the power of faith. Because, to get a self-taught science must "find themselves". In contrast to the state in school. What should be studied at the stage of material has been drawn up should be studied systematically (although many schools of music that do not have a system of teaching. This is worse than once). But the actual material to be considered a self-taught and academic the same. Thus, the key is to understand the first "map", so as not to get lost. If the results of this study with books, judge a book that makes science "instant" with the book, which discusses the issue from the point. This is almost the same as saying: just do not give a fish hook. Knowing that the roots do a lot of problems much more easily solved. In contrast to the instantaneous transmission of knowledge, which allows only one answer to one question.

Private educational institutions or at home to study music in schools, where courses or private houses, of course, much smaller load. Because the material was prepared. So the students are staying focused lessons. But we should pay attention to the fact, because not all agencies have the resources of music education, as well as reliable system. The success of the teaching-learning process depends on three factors: teachers, students and education systems.

So in any study, provided that the third factor supports, of course, the result will be satisfactory. Then asked how I knew that (primarily) a teacher of music and learn the system well enough? A good player can not always be a good teacher. Before you decide to study in a particular institution or someone who can teach music, the best to ask about the teaching curriculum.

For example, for beginning students level:
1. For beginners will have no material?
2. What methods should be developed Starter?
3. Application of these techniques are applied to the minimum level, what song?

In addition, information for students, ask questions about the material to be taught. Method of reply will be visible if the teacher is prepared with materials and systems of good teaching, which is not? If you have teachers and a good system of accepting students now stay focused lesson carefully. In private institutions or at home, as well, if a good man resources and systems. The difference is that if the educational institution, which was officially, students receive a certificate of completion and if the private house of course not. But a private home provides a pleasant atmosphere. Such influential in the comfort of learning, the ratio of the quality of the material arrest student.

Although many pickups also known as DiMarzio, SeymourDuncan, which use 4 conductor wire and 1 ground (total of 5 cable), this variation of only limited use pickup only, no cables means more the better.

Single Coil

Only a 2 conductor cable only., Because it only uses 1 coil. Furthermore one of the wires will be the positive pole and one negative pole. You decide which would be fine, but it should be emphasized both produce different sounds. And the factories often give recommendations which cable should be positive and negative to produce maximum sound.

Humbucker

Has 2 coils with the aim of eliminating noise 60cycle. There humbucker which has 2 wires, 3 wires, 4 wires, and 5 cables. Varies depending on the manufacturer. We will discuss with the 4 conductor humbucker and 1 bare (5 cables), because this is common and widely used.

A Good Instrument Cable and Construction

noreply@blogger.com (arjunajogja) — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 19:36:00 -0800

If the mixer can be thought of as the heart of a system, then the cable can be likened to veins. Poor quality of the cable will lower-quality audio for the entire system.

No one can dismiss how important function in a wired audio system. Various sound great company must have been very understanding about it.

A good instrument cable must be able to show a deep and sound stage high image, high resolution, detail, timbre is very super, natural tonal balance and very neutral. Ii cables not tonally colored, and can be compatible with many sound systems, speaker and pre-amp. We know a lot of conventional cable designs have a good look physically, but did not last long, because it uses a thin conductor. Lack of this type of cable is the weakness of image focus and resolution. Some of these cables is to combine the high resolution of information transparency and focus on the three-dimensional image with a neutral tonal balance and warm.

Construction of the cable

Components

Here we will know the coaxial configuration (co-axial) and twin-axial. Coaxial, this configuration is used to unbalances instrument cable. Inside there is a conductor (conductor signal) the middle or center conductor. Charge or current carrying electrical signals from the source device (source) and divided by the insulation material that separates conductors were from other parts of dalm cable, ie shield (the shield). This shield is also a conductor, but feed back conductor of electric current or signals to complete current into a circuit.
All three components were (conductor, insulation and shield) is equipped with two weapons, form an electrostatic shield which serves to reduce the level of noise handling. Then the protective outer / outer cable jacket to protect against the "outside world", and used to beautify the view cable.

Twin coaxial coaxial VS

Unlike a twin coaxial cable and coaxial, coaxial uses an isolated conductor in the middle to bring the voltage signal is the same as in the shield. Here the shield is connected to the contact "negative" from the plug at both ends, while the conductor in the middle of connecting contacts "negative". Since the analog audio signal is alternating current (alternate current), then voltage positive and negative signal change in change center conductor and shield.

While twin coaxial cable (twin-ax) have two conductors insulated from the voltage signal which is surrounded by a separate shield. In this case, shield attached to one end of the cable and acts as a conductor "negative". Shield is designed to block incoming interference into the signal conductor with audio, as well as to bring interference to the chassis ground of the device being used. Twin-ax design is generally more costly than coaxial. Especially during the cleaning process for the audio signal path, and to avoid any ground loops.

The relationship between the material inside the cable

Geometric

Referring to the relationship between conductor and shield or a protective layer (read: shield). Different geometric characteristics will affect the electrical and shielding of a cable, which in turn affects the layout sound. There are two approaches in terms of design that can be done to the overall geometrical instruments for cable, which is co-axial design and twin-axial.
Shield responsible for bringing half of the audio signal. So inevitably, this shield must be able to keep the conductor cable from the possibility of outside interference from the signal path devices (such as the amplifier or console), ie to the ground.

Conductor geometry

In a twin-ax design, the pattern of relations between the conductor and the shield will affect the electrical characteristics of a cable. To view cable, the most relevant characteristics associated with the two factors above are the capacitance and inductance. The effect of this capacitance can be heard clearly in an instrument cable. Capacitance is often measured in units with Pico farad per foot of a cable. Of the two conductors in a parallel cable, this cable will have a relatively high inductance and low capacitance, and more able to pick up interference. Braid conductor types tend to show high capacitance with low inductance and more susceptible to noise.

Shield

In this instrument cables located beneath the outer jacket surrounding the conductor and is usually a signal of a foil, Braid or a combination of both. A foil shield have a good power protection against high frequency interference, such as RFI (Radio Frequency Interference).

Braid Shield known more effective against all forms of interference which now exists, if the shield was in-woven with a sufficient density. Shield uses a lot of copper materials.

A spiral shield may have a higher density compared with braided shield, but less flexible than Braid. This spiral Shield can to open and provide a path for the interference, if the cable is too often bent or curve. Find the cable that wearing a braided shield (Braid and foil combination) with a coverage density of at least about 85%.

Insulation

Have a direct impact on the flexibility of a cable, especially for heavy usage and the size of thin materials. A conductor beinsulas, actually have a character that does not change it like a solid conductor. More thin insulation, more flexible cable.

There are criteria for electrical insulation thinness of this. Called "dielectric Strength", and is determined by the voltage level of the cable work. Existing voltage cable in use instruments generally very low, so the level of dielectric strength is needed to prevent the insulation does not drop very small.

There is one factor to consider, when the cable will be used for instruments like electric guitars, the amount of capacitance between the center conductor (center conductor) with a shield.
Regarding insulation material, in essence isulator four ingredients that we know for a conductor in an instrument cable. May be mentioned here, according to the order of appearance and a higher price, ie PVC, polypropylene, and Teflon polythylene. These materials can also be in "foam" or injected with air to minimize the bad effects of the signal, while the signal is stored or removed.

Process Thermoplastic insultation more economic known, but need to be careful in the production process. This is because the process can not foreplay excess heat (overheated), especially when isolating the conductor soldering.

Material conductor

Ah Copper (copper) is the material a very good conductor, though not all the copper has the same qualities as a conductor material. Copper is used in a cable of good quality, with levels ranging from free oxygen until the "7N". This type of copper purity levels vary in a later referred to as the percentage of copper. At the end of this spectrum is the copper "7N" which means "seven nine", after the decimal point in the value of purity, that is 99.9999999% pure.

While the materials used for the center conductor can be made from materials thermosets, the curry, neoprene, and hypalon. It could also be the nature of thermoplastic materials, namely polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC, and FPE.

Silver or silver is also a good conductor, but in the subjective different silver made by the manufacturer, often larger than the difference in copper. Find the cable that uses a minimum of OFHC copper conductors, and try each cable using silver gilded copper conductor, before you buy.

Conductor design

Another source of distortion in the cable is the interaction that comes from the strands (strand) conductors in the cable. These strands are made in order to increase flexibility in the cable. But each piece in a bond will carry the same audio signal next with strands. Will be a problem, electrical currents to run in strands will form a magnetic field. Caused signal changes brought. So many pieces that owned by a conductor, will be the worse problems that arise.

Capacitance

Is an interesting factor in a cable. Capacitance is the ability of an electrical load. In an instrument cable, the capacitance between the center conductor and shield, expressed in units per foot (pF / ft). Where so low in value, it indicated the growing low capacitance as well. When combined with the source impedance, cable capacitance can form a low-pass filter between the instruments and amplifiers, which can cut the high frequencies level by cutting tone control instruments.

Given that the overall outside diameter of the cable is limited by the plug to be used, the capacitance of the cable is really a reflection of the size combination conductors (power conductor), insulation material (cost), and the thinness of insulation (the size and flexibility). The term "dielectric constant" is often used here to see the quality of insulation materials. Of course this will ultimately determine the sound clarity.

Conclusion

The absence of cables perfectly / could improve the sound of our devices. There is only a cable that can keep the audio signal from the things that can reduce its purity.

Benefits Of Music For Life

noreply@blogger.com (arjunajogja) — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:41:00 -0800

As a former musician with the fascinating game skills, resolve many girls, I asked: "What is good music? Angle sounds time-consuming for students and white."

It now seems that we never feel calm and warm when listening to music? Carroll will answer "yes" means that we will feel a direct positive impact on the psychological not music. In particular, the music not the only state of mind, but there are positive health effects.

John's music psychology, the book mentions is the use of music therapy and music therapy as a tool to repair, maintain, and improve the country's mental, physical and emotional. Music therapy is a simple way of positive benefits, physical, psychological, and improving memory and social relations.

Some of the benefits of music therapy include:

1. Enhance their creativity.
2. To reduce anxiety and stress.
3. To improve intelligence.
4. To change the situation will become more active.
5. Increase the concentration.
6. Relaxed than the gold.
7. Autistic children to overcome obstacles.
8. To create a more positive emotion (happy / happy).
9. Language skills.

So, the benefits are higher than the music and escape, but the results of research and observation, many experts on the positive impact of this study to listen to certain types of music. Of which:

1. Jazz.

Blaum research results achieved in 2003, the students listening to jazz, the Ministry of Defense who better to help students to learn. The results of research and application, and then by the Lake Norman Lake Jameson Barber and hairdresser to the success of new jazz CD at the University of Massachusetts. Them to the end of the CD students be able to handle negative emotions (anger, anxiety, depression, fear), because it is difficult to adapt to the curriculum (see "my friend", 40 Edition: 2006). Some examples of the right to hear jazz (vatonie collection): Norah Jones, Nat King Cole, the PLA project (hue him, and has entered the jazz but still is not it?), Etc..

2. Rock.

Well, it actually collapsed answer. Who is the voice said the voice of rock music does not exist, so that we functions are not thinkers? Research conducted by Dr. Lay Riby and George Caldwell, Cladenian psychologist from the University of Glasgow showed that students who listen to rock and roll, just a bit of brain work to do a good job. In addition, rock music, at the same time can increase the productivity work (see "Dear friends", 40 Edition: 2006). Some examples of appropriate hearing rock music (vatonie collection): Dream Theater, Rush, drop hammer, scorpions, SOAD, Queen, etc.).

3. Classic.

The benefits of classical music is well known, especially the Mozart Effect. Apart from the many advantages and disadvantages of the Mozart Effect, more than studies have shown that Mozart's music will help in the field of health. Samuel Halim, in his study found that Mozart effect may help treat Alzheimer's disease (characterized by senile disease is often difficult to walk, talk, very few combination). Another study conducted found that Campbell classical music can help cure diseases, such as pressure, cancer, dyslexia, and hypertension. Some examples of appropriate hearing classical music (vatonie collection): the ultimate Mozart album, Maxim, the most relaxing classical music in the world, and so on.

I am confused now lives in a religious music in what work? After all, this is still a religious music, music, music is universal. In addition, listening to music, some religious people will have a sedative effect, make a new and inspiring, so life is more important than life. Therefore, we proposed? I replied that access to this type of rock music, religion ...? Cigarettes? Wosuo Ha. answer that religious music

Music Ensembles

noreply@blogger.com (arjunajogja) — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:35:00 -0800

In ancient times, people made music purely for the ritual, namely the introductory prayer to the gods, or what they believe. To create music that do not use musical instruments as we know it today.

The development of human civilization changes. Previously, people only use the body of the player and the only rhythmically.

Music is life for all people. Music can be combined with various differences between people. In fact, the music can become a means of communication between all levels, regardless of the differences and human dignity.

The development of modern music is very influential and development, so that people life. Current music is no longer used as a means of worship, but has become a medium of entertainment and education. Music today has become mainstream and can be enjoyed by anyone.

A. Media With Music

1. Music as a means of worship
In some areas of Indonesia's music is integrated into the life of the community. Community carry on the head very high, to maintain and respect the values contained in the music. So the music may not be sustainable in the year.
Sundanese society, particularly the tradition of rice cultivation, to respect and comply with the rituals of rice goddess Dewi Sri. Angklung is a player that is sometimes accompanied by singing is a way to celebrate the Sri Sangyang Pohaci JNI.

Angklung it was sufficient in rice cultivation is still in use until the residents of the pedals Sunda, as ciptarasa (built-in device Banten Kidul), Kenya, Cipining (Bogor), Cijulang (CIAM), glass (GARUT) Arja and Sari (Bandung) all in Indonesian.

2. Music medium of education
At first the music lives and grows in an informal environment. The general public who have concerns and interests to preserve the music. To better preserve the community to make music as part of the education sector. Thus, the next generation of cultural knowledge and attitude to appreciate the works of music, whether old or new artists.

The tools are often taught to play in formal schools, such as the nose flute, clarinet, flute, calung, pianika, keyboard, harp, drums, guitar, angklung and gandelan.

3. Music and entertainment medium
Music medium of entertainment in general at a wedding celebration, circumcision, people's party, and so on. Nature music is to entertain the audience. Since the quality of the music is sometimes worse. For example, the quality is not important, important is the musical taste of the public may follow. And finally, the satisfaction of the audience to see a musical. Angklung art, for example, became one of the public performances, art is in studio "Saung angklung Udjo" in the past leads Mr. Udjo Ngalagena.

B. The form of service

When the player audience see the presentation.
1. Play alone or in conjunction with the concert is a musical form that has been presented in the player one or more instruments.
2. The music is played or presented throughout play person or group of people who have an instrument, whether a kind of musical instruments and various musical instruments.
Things that may affect both forms of musical performance:
1. Number of music players (musician)
2. Several instruments
3. Throughout the building (Show)
4. Performance Context

C. Type of stereo music source

There are several ways a person can be a great player is the instrument of voice. You can play musical instruments, such as blowing, the reader, and launch, and not one.
1. Brass Instruments such as the recorder, trumpet, and harmonica.
2. Stringed instrument such as violin, cello and violin.
3. String instruments musical instruments such as guitar, mandolin and harp.
4. Instrument, such as a powerful tool for gamelan, calung and kolintang. As for musical instruments launched on tambourine, tambourine and drum.

D TEAM TASKS

Players can be grouped by their function, namely:
1. Instrument Sets
Tuned instrument is a powerful tool that can act as the holders of a series of movement, melody and melodic. Examples of this instrument, flute, harmonica and saxophone.
2. Rhythmic Instruments Music
Rhythm instrument is an instrument that is not sound, it served as the instrument of the work of the music is good can be stable. Examples of this instrument, drum, tambourine and triangle.
3. The harmony of musical instruments
Harmony players, players who can mix in line to produce agreements. Examples of this instrument, guitar, piano, and Deon Agreement. This tool is able to follow the song.

E. Play the instrument

Play the player should be subject to possible. A good education does not mean that the number of training posts often, but regular training and quality. The quality of the game is when you make mistakes, we analyze the problem and fix it immediately. Then repeat the training until it was a mistake.

F. Exercise Device With Music rhythm

Rhythm instrument is a tool that can make or remove a certain rhythm when played together. To play this instrument, it is necessary to rhythmic notation.
Rhythmic notation is marked to be used for Ensemble. Notation can be prevented and rhythmic notation, notation, images or symbols. Usage label depends on the composer, written notice that it may simplify the musicians playing musical notation.

What is Vocal process ?

noreply@blogger.com (arjunajogja) — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:54:00 -0800

Music and singing voice is usually called the source of musical sounds of human voices. Type of music is really beautiful and noble than any other musical instruments, because the focus of the fact is that the human voice is God's creation is perfect Uncategorized
The human voice is the basis of vocal music. The human voice singing tone that was unified and stable naturally proposal, which may appear a different color, or weight control. And the voice sang for treatment again with the audio technology to achieve the best of beauty, which can be to the satisfaction of the public, which is often referred to sing.
Anyone can 'sing', but few of them can 'singer', because the singer is a person who can not and developing technology that audio if singing is good and right.

How To Play Musical Instruments Marching

noreply@blogger.com (arjunajogja) — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:50:00 -0800

Band marching instruments are used for performance can generally be divided into different categories, depending on the type and how to play the instrument marching Band. The group marched through the tools also indirectly affects the structure of the organization of Education are generally defined by the categories of the band's drum instrument, each band instrument category has its own coach. In addition to training, drums, percussion tool for grouping also affects the social behavior of the players involved in the marching band drums to create a structure of society as a political band formed the arrogance of officials group.

Brass instrument
The beginning of various brass instruments are both marching bands, drum band. But in its development, the various wind instruments such as cornet, clarinet, flugelhorn, saxophone (including sofrano, alto and tenor), trombone, Sousa and phone used wholesale flute drum band device denied. Brass instruments commonly used to play drums in the marching Band, with the main tone B ♭ or F types of instruments including trumpet, French Horn, Phone Mello, melody horn, baritone, euphonium, double bass / tuba.

Percussion musical instruments
Percussion instruments in this group is a kind of moving equipment and transporting the player who played in a row, and brass instruments. Section, who play percussion instruments, also walking Drumline or batteries. A type of instruments used in marching percussion instruments are usually larger than those used in the game marching Band instrument. Examples of these tools is the snare drum, drum tunes-Quint, bass drum, cymbals.

Musical Pit (static)
Instrument is essentially a hollow percussion sound. The appearance of the instruments of the band as an instrument is static, the player is not related to a number of other instrument teams, but play it in front of the field is used to look. The different instruments are used for drums band instruments are usually more than bervariatif drum band. Some groups marching Bands to pull itself together and sometimes even the pit equipment to generate unique sounds of music played. The types of instruments such as xylophone, vibraphone, marimba, cymbals, Chinese kumistimet, timpani, concert bass drums, tubular bells.

Singing How The Good?

noreply@blogger.com (arjunajogja) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 16:19:00 -0800

interpretation

Interpretation is an attempt singers, musicians to capture the intent and meaning of the composition of composer; either express or implied, by notation or expressed by the meaning of his words. The ability to analyze and understand a song will be reflected in the expressions and body language exhibited by the singer.

dynamics

Dynamics is a gentle song sung loudly. Dynamics create a composition that brought more lively. The signs of the dynamic statement there are three points:

Soft dynamics: piano, pianisimo, mezopiano, pianisisimo
Loud dynamics: forte, fortesimo, mezoforte, fortesisimo
Dynamics of moving: cressendo, decressendo, diminuendo, morendo

rhythm and agogik

# Rhythms is a soul or character contained in the motion melody. This rhythm is the holder of an important role in the music because it is a "pulse" heart music. So the rhythm is already implicit in the human pulse, too. This comes from the rhythm of what we call the tempo or bars.

# Tempo is the speed or the slowness of a song sung.
It is important to understand the tempo of the singer will sing to support the innate character of the song.

# Bar is a division of note values that are the realization of the rhythm or the rhythm itself is limited by what is called bar lines.

# Agogik are things related to the tempo in a song, whether slow or speed up in accordance with the emotions portrayed.

Phrasering or wording

Phrasering is beheading word in a sentence, verse or sentence sentence language songs. Sentences the song (musical sentences) that must be considered is to keep the feel of the melody line intact so take a breather when the sentence should take into account the existing music by writing marks in a coma scores and songs like the point.
Language sentences (sentences of text) to note is that the overall meaning of the poem in achieving unity in achieving the sentence so the sentence has always supported the unity of meaning implicit in the existing poem.
It should be noted that the essence of a known point phrasering or coma; a period or comma is the place to take breath. Thus may not take the breath out of the sign that was given to the integrity of the sentence and the song sung perfectly achievable.

Articulator or Pronunciation

Articulation is a term associated with the pronunciation of words that are driven by said instruments. Pronunciation of words in singing should be clear so that the message of the song can be understood audience. A good articulation is to try to make all the letters into vowels sounds.
Letter life should not turn on in projecting the voice, so that does not sound broken. But consonant (consonant) must be turned on.
General functions of articulation is as a transmitter of sound production and delivery of a variety of sounds, which is closely connected with the formation of language sentence consisting of a series of words.

# Produce Sound
There are 2 types of sounds, namely: voice to speak and voice to sing. Main differences are as follows:

a.sound speaking (speaking voice):
loud, rude, does not resonate, dirty (Noises), weight, spent a lot of breath.

b.sound singing (singing voices):
smooth, clean, clear, translucent, lightweight, resonate, all out of breath into sound.

To get the votes needed to sing the imagination and exercises as follows:
Imagine the sound is placed on top, in front of the forehead, so that the resulting sound impressive light and bright, clear and lucid.
Get the sound vibration (ringing) on the forehead of the ring "ng" or "n".
Can use the high tone of how to throw up and swirling with vocal "u" or other vocal sounds but do not shout!
The sound of a good vocal sound that sounded bright, clean, light and bright, warm, thick enough, without being compelled to, the words clearly.
Vowel sounds bad is the sound that sounded: rough, dirty, stiff, tense, dark, blurry, not contain, wheezing.

Resonator

Resonator is a sound that arises because of the space with hard walls that reflect sound back. Cavity resonance is 3 kinds, namely:

# Cavity resonance Top
Often called the resonant head (head voice). The sound produced by a brilliant singer and content of the head and face were full.

# Middle resonance cavity
Ie mouth cavity resonance and throat. The nature of this cavity bridge displacement registers, between the lower and upper registers, so do not fault the sound occurs.

# Cavity resonance Down
Is chest cavity resonance. Nature makes a loud voice and thick, especially in lower tones. Chest vibrate more dominant.

Function cavity resonance:
1. Increasing the loudness level due to encouragement from the motor
2. Distinguish types of voices (SATB)
3. Distinguish colors sound (timbre)
4. Distinguish the various vowel sounds and placements
5. The sound is placed in the correct space will result in:

5.1 echoing sound (ringing)
5.2 vibrates (vibrant)
5.3 thick (rich)
Forward projections 5.4 (forward direction)
5.5 full (full)

Imagination is needed to help put the sound in the correct position. Each singer must be thinking that the neck and throat relax in total and open wide to make way air from the lungs to the upper and finally reached the end of the head and then out in full. Resonance is placed at the top of the face: forehead, nose up or niche, the upper teeth, cheekbones, as if appointed to the top.

Vibrator or vibrator

What is meant by a vibrator is a source of noise occurs due to gusts or breathing a sigh that shook the vocal cords.
Pita Vote: human vocal cord is 2 pieces, namely the false vocal cords (thick) and the original sound tape (thin). The larynx is composed of 2 strong bands and woven elastic and yellowish color. Man's vocal cords was longer and thicker (20-35mm) compared with female vocal cord short and thin (15-20mm). Vocal cords are very flexible and sensitive. Therefore, its use must be maintained.

Motor or Drive

Which become the motor of singing is breathing. Breathing is vital and basic (primary) because the energy of the vocals though. There are 4 types of respiration:

# Claviculer Breathing (Respiratory shoulder)
At the time of air, breathing in through your nose pressed into his shoulders and upward. Catch one's breath is very shallow way, because it did not last long and posture become less beautiful.

# Costal Respiratory (chest breathing)
Decision breath using lungs as a reservoir of air that thrust the chest forward, because the breath fully accommodated by the lungs. The weakness of this tract are the lungs become quickly tired of holding air, so the sound becomes unstable because of breath control is weak.

# Respiratory abdominal (belly breathing)
Breathing activity using the abdominal muscles as a container of air so that the lower abdominal muscles expand into the fall.

# Respiratory diaphragm
The diaphragm is a term that shows midriff. Breath is the best to sing because it has air reservoir space that is wide enough. The lungs can fill up without a pinch because the room was enlarged by the strain diaphragm moving downward. And breathing is what should be used by each singer.

Body Attitude

Standing posture is the best attitude to sing:
# Body does not bend straight straight
# Shoulders do not rise to the top
# Head slightly thrown back, not down, do not be too tilted to the top
# Left leg slightly forward to maintain balance
# Body is not rigid and tense but sturdy strong but relaxed

Sitting posture is an alternative attitude to sing for a special interpretation:
# Body erect and the head position at the time standing
# Back straight
# Left foot forward slightly forward
# Straight and abdominal muscles strong
# Hand relaxed on the thighs
# View focus

General Character Vocal Sound & Musical Style

noreply@blogger.com (arjunajogja) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 16:16:00 -0800

baroque and renaisance

- Cathedral, light, bright
- Vocal technique is very attractive and demanding a very high technical
- A little thicker for a solo, for the choir remained light, full and without vibrato reonance
- Very expressive and with feeling, but still adhering to strict engineering
- Sound clean and clear soprano, boy soprano often wore, thicker bass sound
- Very polyphony, terrace dynamic
- A combination of polyphony, and the contrast homophone
- 1 mood / theme of each section, there is no change of mood and expression gradually

Classical

- Perfect proportion, balance, blending and detail is the character
- Terrace dynamic, no gradual dynamic changes
- Clear, bright, light sound
- Rational, expressive, but remained faithful to the technique

Romantic

- Dramatic, very emotional and expressive
- Vocals: rich / thick (as if the dark), resonance, full voice, virbarto
- The characters are very different composer each other
- Changes in mood and dynamics gradually and contrast (pppp, ffff)

modern/contemporary/20th century

- Back to the past is mysterious and mystical, some looking for a new style that has never existed, even apart from the conventional order of music (many of the ideas of new music)
- Some work very melodic, some very rhythmic, some very dissonant
- Back to the pure voice, light (not thick) and bright, but the nasal
- All kinds of vocal techniques and effects can be used, depending on the composer
- Many types and dynamics of change, feelings and played some weird (excellent)

pop and traditional

- Using throat voice / chest voice / middle voice, breath support is not too strong
- Would be better if the vocal placement is among the upper middle voice and voice
- For songs using vocal effects in accordance with the character of the area
- Vocal technique is not used strictly, it is difficult to create / follow his style (jazz, keroncong, pop, dangdut, etc)

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

noreply@blogger.com (arjunajogja) — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:13:00 -0800

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Salzburg, January 27, 1756, Vienna, December 5, 1791) was a composer. He is considered one of the European composers of classical music is the most important and most famous in history. His works (about 700 songs), including piece-piece is known as a top symphonic works, chamber music, piano, music, opera and choral music. Examples of his work is the opera Don Giovanni and Die Zauberflöte. Many of Mozart's considered standard repertoire for classical music concerts and recognized as masterpieces of the classical era. His works have been ordered in the catalog Köchel-Verzeichnis.

Early period (1756-1772)

Mozart's birth house is now a museum in Salzburg, Austria

Mozart, who was known to have absolutely tuning options (that I know exactly the tone without the aid of instruments), music from birth. His father, Leopold Mozart Johann Georg was an important composer of his time, one of the most important works Kindersinfonie ( "Children's Symphony"). Wolfgang was the youngest of seven children who died prematurely. Only on Mozart and Maria Anna ( "Nannerl") to survive to adulthood. When I was four years, Mozart was able to play the harpsichord and improvising on musical works of his predecessors. He even wrote his first composition at age five. His works include the Sonata for Violin and Menuet. Leopold collected all without the knowledge of the composition of his son. Also, with Nannerl, he was a keyboard that is very reliable. Leopold, who discovered his talent that he felt "compelled" to expose them to the rest of Europe.

Playing the piano in front of the King of Bavaria

Mozart was then taken to play the piano in front of the King of Bavaria in Munich. In September 1762, Leopold took a sabbatical from his position to promote the son of the king. They then went to Vienna. That Mozart played the piano in front of the Empress Maria Theresa, who dazzled the game will be the skills and Nannerl Mozart. After the concert, Mozart's concert should be long enough that after three years in Paris (1763, 1765) and London (1764-1765). In these places, Mozart concert in front of kings and tested by them. Partly to improve threads examiner with his eyes closed a piece of cloth. Mozart was acclaimed as a prodigy in every place.

Philosophy leads to wisdom (wisdom) in thinking and acting rationally. Music as art can express things that can not be expressed in words, nor by any other kind of art - music is more capable and more expressive of feelings than the spoken and written language, for other forms of human feeling much closer or in accordance with musical forms. Music instilled in the human soul and mind feeling smooth (ethics). Because the music, the soul knows the harmony and rhythm (rhythm), they are a good basis to bring a sense of justice. But in music education, should be kept away songs that weakens the soul and easily create a bad appetite. Art music and literature are intimately associated, as well as the music is the language of philosophy. Why would someone create a work, would not he did not create the elements of the work of creation? - Such as language, words, tone, rhythm - all these elements already existed, and he just put them together into a work of art of creation. Creation is a frequent cause of philosophical problems.

Immanuel Kant 1724-1804

Music is the language of human expression which still must be translated, the emotion is not enough to explain the music; therefore apply logical rules to the underlying art. There is a clear distinction between natural beauty and aesthetics (the beauty of art) - the music is said to have the form of a beautiful if nan harmonious interplay between imagination and understanding. Beautiful art is the art of a genius, the art of the experts thought.

What is Music?

In this paper, the author will discuss about the meaning of music, because according to the author this is so important to be discussed. This is a very intriguing writer when watching shows in Bandung in order to test co-author S2 majoring in Art Creation ISI Solo indonesian. Then the author took to discuss with the students at the end of the show in discussion forum. He said "ah, my ears can not accept this music, where melody, where the rhythm, the sound is like an irregular, the music is not related to sound, melody and rhythm irregular? was not uniformly wealthy yes sir, what is dong music?

The first task of the writer to question is to explain what is music? So that students can understand the meaning of the music itself and not until he had a narrow view of the meaning of the music.

In principle we need to know and explain the nature of the music itself. The most familiar thing to begin to assume the music is the sound, there is more to argue that the phenomenon is called the human relationship with the music. For a second opinion is certainly necessary to our understanding of human phenomena such as what might be called music.

Let us ask ourselves, is there a sense of where music is the human activity? Logical answer "yes lah yes", without any form of human activity, there can be no sound musical or musical works are created. In short, what is music, is essentially a human activity. Well, then, when we eat is the music, when we got trip is music, when we shower is music, really?

In the case of my colleagues performance, or any musical product that comes from the mind, what present by more than mere musical product, or a mere composition, or a mere improvisation, or a mere show. Present But what is the result of a human activity that has a specific purpose. This means that music is not just a collection of products or objects, but in this case is more seen as a symbol, emblem, namely "to say something about something", so the music face to face with the meaning and message for to fed. Meaning and message can be influenced by the context when people work, whether it is the purpose, audience and so on.

People named Hyden do something that is creating a concerto. What he did was to create something in the context of time, place and type of musical works at that time. In the case of co-author performance, he did something. What he did was to create, compose, perform, improvise, and record something in the context of time, place and type of other musical works. Lots of various musical situations in which the two composers in the act of creating his work.

If music is essentially a form of human activity that has a specific purpose, at least the music includes three components namely, composer, musical products they produce, and the activity in which the composer makes musical products. But according to all three authors is not complete, as well as "making don't use chilli". Composer to make something (music), are in a specific context. This means that when the composer out of ideas, will be influenced by a particular context, as mentioned above, can be seen from the purpose, audience, place or time.

Examples of cases, when a composer to create musical works of musical instruments gongs. To ring the gong, struck in accordance with certain norms, but the composer ring swiped by being beaten with stones and even rolled like a tire that will be transported into the truck. Of course what the composer is the crazy thing is not it? Of course not, if associated with the context described earlier. This means that the composer has a purpose, know who the audience or the audience, to know where the place and time.

From these explanations, the music eventually include four components, namely
1) composer,
2) the process of making work,
3) the work, and
4) the context in which the composer to make something.

Well, the four components of the approach above, co-author of a work:
1) the result of a systematic musical experience, meaning that the musical experience Iwan influenced by musical stages, whether it is from learning, watching, listening, or the advice of mentors,
2) the activities that are motivated in making the work,
3) the activities that have a specific purpose,
4) activities that are influenced by the context in which Jasmine makes her music work.

He was influenced by the context of why and how the listener / audience (including himself) listen to what he created. Instead, the listener / audience is influenced by the why, what and how to do what the composer has created. So that my colleagues had not necessarily make his work for performance in studio marriage or circumcision celebration. Yes, the context for the work he's only those who have more understanding than just music.

Again with a different songwriter "cat robber", the context in which he addressed the crowd for that when performed in a celebration. ya pas alone. But if the co-author of the work performed in the celebration, many people will not understand as well as student opinions before, it sounds not bad, not irregular, or if not good sunda people say "euweuh kunaon gawe jelema tea".

Now, at last of this paper can be concluded that, music is not only sound, the music is not only melody, the music is not just a regular rhythm, but the music is the result of human activity through the processing of sound as a medium of expression that fits the context.
